TWC IntelliSTAR- Astoria, OR- Sep. 23, 2014- 12:48PM PDT

Never heard these narrations before:

"Some light rain will fall throughout the day."
"A steady rain. The rain will be heavy at times."

I don't suppose anyone else here has heard either narration either?

It's already feeling like fall here on the coast. There's a heavy rain threat for my area overnight tonight.

I found this YouTube video of Dish's TWC app with the new graphics:


Dish Network DishHOME Interactive TWC App — Sept. 15, 2014

I say, these graphics are much better compared to the old graphics with the old IS 2006-2010/IS2 2010-2013 weather icons.

Here is my laptop's desktop as of now. That's a picture of Mount St. Helens in the background, taken by myself yesterday.

Banned because I wish I could go back in time to Saturday so I could start my 4-day car trip all over again, as time flew by so quickly.

The Comcast headend in Longview, WA has downconverted the HD Weather Channel feed onto the SD channel (channel 47) which shows an IS2 from nearby Vancouver. I don't quite understand why Comcast is replacing the SD channel with a 4:3 letterboxed HD feed. Perhaps to save money?

If they've downconverted the HD feed onto an SD channel and removed the HD channel altogether, that's something I've never heard of before. However, repeating the HD feed on the SD channel while keeping the HD channel, too, is becoming a common situation.

Comcast has the regular TWC HD channel in Longview as well, but I wasn't able to view it with the digital adapter box. I guess Comcast must be trying to make room for newer channels by removing the TWC SD feed and repeating the HD feed as they are pretty much the same thing (sort of).
